THE LAST MOUNTAIN follows Kate Ballard on an emotional journey to say goodbye to her brother on Nanga Parbat. Using archive footage from 1995 and Tom's own extraordinary footage taken up until the days before his death, the film explores what made Tom continue his ascent with Italian climber Daniele Nardi after the other two members of the expedition turned back. Combining years of intimate, unseen family archive with footage of the family that director, Chris Terrill, has shot in the years since Alison's passing, the documentary tells the unforgettable story of a family who lived -- and were prepared to die -- for the love of scaling the icy heights of the world's highest peaks, and explore what it is that drives people to pit themselves against nature at its most ferocious and unforgiving.
